Once in a Blue Moon SALE! Where we’re waxing towards full!!
We are in synch with our second full moon for the month and are waxing all kinds of colourful specials that we feel are worthy of the Once in a Blue Moon kind of magic.
So much colour scheming dyeing! The alchemy in the barn right now is positively infectious with one-of-a-kinds and all-kinds-of-blue! So much yarn, so much colour, and most certainly so much fun. Here is the short and sweet of how we see this working and what we have to offer.
The sale starts on Friday August 31st at 9:30 am Pacific time and it goes to Sunday September 2nd at 9:00 pm (also Pacific time) or, in some cases, until supplies last.
On the happy news front we’ve come up with some more Mystery Bags. Yay!! We have them in lightweight and mediumweight with the bulk of them in mediumwieght. We’ve changed things up a bit and are offering the mediumweight in a bag with 2 skeins instead of three. Why you ask? Because my colour selection is getting leaner and I want to make sure they are lovely, so 2 is way easier than 3 at this point.
We will also have a few special Once in a Blue Moon Mystery bags filled with only blue hues and they will be listed separately form the other Mystery Bags to lessen confusion (mostly mine).
These will be in our Once in a Blue Moon section with special short run yarns dyed in special ways.
And then of course 15% off all the REGULARLY priced yarns on the website. DISCOUNT CODE is: BLUEMOON2012
Because of the number of orders that usually come in during one of these sales of ours we are extending our processing time in order to maintain some sense of sanity and health. If you order just the mystery bags then your order will ship in our usual time frame. If you add in other yarns then please know it could take two weeks. These yarns will be dyed to order and that does take a bit longer.
We appreciate your patience.
Newsletter is going out today as I edit this blog post! I am bagging and bagging and bagging some more Mystery Bags which has given me all sorts of inspiration and ideas. Dye vats are settling and we are ready to roll this thing out tomorrow.
Happy Knitting!
ps: For those of you that asked my vacation was perfect!

Woohoo!!! I am so excited about this sale
I would love to have a chance to shop at this sale – online of course!

Yea for the vacation! You surely deserved a wonderful time. I am still petting and planning the future of my mini-skeins from the last sale but I’m sure there is something in this sale that will have to come to my house….
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my mystery bag. It was as though you’d gone through my history and picked out a perfect one for me. My boyfriend immediately wanted two of the skeins knit into socks for him, so I guess I have my work cut out for me. Always nice to have someone want your work though!
And 15% off….hmm, I need to crunch some numbers and see what I can spare to spend on more yarn.
“… special short run yarns …”? Less yardage than usual? Can anyone help me out with what this means?
You know I’m going to be at the computer at 12:30 (I’m on the East coast) on Fri. (8/31) … can’t wait.
I assumed that Special Short Run Yarns meant experimental colours and techniques. So the same yardage, but different looks than the standard colour offerings.
Thanks. That clarifies the short run matter.
looking forward to this! the last mystery bag was wonderful!
Those mystery bags sound like fun. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one (or two…).
I would like to get the newsletter. How can I get added to the list?
I have the same question as Pholly
I’m all set to go. Unfortunately, it’s not yet 12:30 here in the east. 11 minutes to wait!
Cheers and red wine, Hazel.
GONE! In less than an hour, everything for the once in a blue moon barn sale is gone. Egads, that customer conference call costs me some delightful yarn. Pity
I mean the mystery bags themselves. Not the sale itself.
Thanks Tina for adding me to the mailing list
I was so prepared for the sale this time. I preloaded my cart with the all the regular stuff I wanted. Then when the sale started, I grabbed a rare gem and a mystery bag and checked out. Woohoo!!! I’m so happy.
I ran out of class (literally – my students must have thought I was crazy) as I was about to start my prep time, jumped on the computer and got a lightweight mystery bag – just what I wanted. Next time I looked, all mystery bags were gone. Take away from this – if I’m not on prep time or lunch at the start time of the next sale, I’ll have to get another teacher to cover my class …
Tina, Can I be added to the newsletter list? Thanks.
Phyllis
Good to see that.
